Maddie is extremely personable, communicative, positive, encouraging, knowledgeable, professional, well-informed, non-judgmental, and all around wonderful to have on your birth support team. I really appreciated having someone as my "go-to" with questions and getting feedback about things.
If you end up laboring & delivering in a hospital, there's a lot of stuff happening around you that can feel overwhelming/ not part of your birth plan. All the more reason to have someone for support and encouragement. For me, once I got to active labor & pushing, everything became a blur. But I remember Maddie's calming and loving presence, her stroking my hand & fixing my hair, guiding my husband, & just being there when everything was getting too intense.
We also utilized Maddie's postpartum services while I remained in the hospital after giving birth, which I HIGHLY recommend if you can swing it (most hospitals dont have nurseries!).
My husband and I are forever grateful to Maddie for her support and kindness during this crazy time in our life!!
